Legacy and Friends - Sean Maloney lost his leg to cancer at age 12. He found the guitar and a sense of humor and love of music. Now, living in Orlando, FL. he cleverly goes by the name "Legacy" and offers up a melodic mix of grooves... Legacy's brand of music cannot be classified solely, but as organic music that will make you tap both of your feet. Jam-based, reggae overtones with hints of jazz horns and scat work, over beat boxes looped to perfection. Shakin' like you were on Shakedown Street itself. Sean will be bringing a collective of local musicians to help him jam out for your listening pleasure.
Between Bluffs @ "An engaging mix of pop, folk and a lot of other things that shouldn't work together – like the ska beats that propel opener "Two Lovers." A heavy-handed approach would crush this quickly, but singer-songwriter Jerrod Simpson and his band mates have a light touch that lets the disparate elements ease into place." - Curtis Ross - Tampa Bay Online.
Band Members
Jerrod Simpson, Justin Davis, Joseph Russek III, and Melbourne Walsh

string(2838) "Welcome back to the Blueberry Patch: High Cotton -Tampa Bay A 7 piece band celebrating the music of Widespread Panic!!!!
"Like a Truck Redlining Across a Southern Night…
Here Comes High Cotton
High Cotton is the definition of good things and fine times, played through a collection of classic Widespread Panic songs. Drawing from the early Panic years, their live shows are full of grit and edge. Mixing influences of southern rock, a bit of the Allman Brothers, Santana, the Dead, and if that’s to your liking, you will love High Cotton. Encouraged by friends who love Widespread, High Cotton was spun-up to recreate the Widespread experience. Originally, the band existed as a hobby as all members have regular jobs. Even with 70+ years of live performance experience between them, they have a tough row to hoe, but these seven band members give it their all. Their experience will mirror your experience, if you are already familiar with Widespread.
Breaking from today’s standards, the music is true, emotional, and definitely not plastic. With fans already trading copies of the shows, they are well on their way to bringing Widespread out of the house and onto a local stage. The essence of Widespread breaks with natural music and performance convention, so expect a raw and energetic show when you see them.
Their repertoire of over 50 songs includes Chilly Water, Love Tractor, C. Brown, and others.
Long time Widespread Panic fans have filled music centric venues from South Pinellas to Pasco County, Hillsborough and beyond."

Though the band is heavily instrumental-oriented, they also feature vibrant vocals, extending their expression to the reach of all types of music lovers.
Based in central Florida, the band has quickly taken hold of the Orlando scene, released an EP entitled "Buster Keaton" in August 2013, and has since established a loyal fan base in and around the greater central Florida region. Leisure Chief will be releasing their first full length album this Winter (2015) and will be announcing tour dates for late Winter / early Spring along with the release. The band recently set a new precedent at Orlando's premier downtown venue, The Social, where debuted their full 8-piece band for the first time nearly selling out the venue as the headliner for the new show series "Swamburger Presents: On The Come Up (August 2015)." The full band features the original rhythm section, along with the addition of percussion, and a full 3-piece horn section which can all be heard on their upcoming full length album!

Nader Issa is a classically triained bassist/vocalist with fluency in a variety of styles and techniques. His up-tempo pizzicato boogie riffs and heartwarming bow work showcase the versatile voice of the upright bass. His love and formal knowledge of Jazz, Classical, and contemporary music is apparent every night.

"The Reality" is a funkadelic foursome hailing from the sunny shores of Tampa, Florida, which has hit the bay area with a new sound that has the masses in a daze, like a hot summer’s day. With music as sweet and juicy as the first bite of one of the bands signature pineapples, pin your ears back and listen to their soul drenched music and see why fans are just begging for another sip! They are known for their unique blend of funk, jazz, reggae and rock, the collective foursome has brought a fresh and exciting presence to the music scene, always daring to push the limits and break new boundaries. Fans compare us to the classics such as Pink Floyd, and Jimi Hendrix, mixed with modern sounds such as Sublime, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and John Mayer.
Band Members
Dan Jones - Guitars & Vocals & Trombone
Caleb Bone - Bass & Vocals
Brian Jones - Drums & Vocals
Kyle Sareyani - Keys & Flute
Genre: Funk/Jazz/Reggae/Rock
"Future Vintage" is bringing a whole new sound to the Southeastern US. Their name is synonymous with their sonic vision – presenting original music that bridges the gap between all great Funk music past, present and future. The music is rooted in the classic Funk of the 70’s and early 80’s with further influence from the Hip Hop and Neo-Soul of the 90’s and 2000’s and finally with an ear to what’s happening in Electronic Dance Music today.
Band members:
Future Vintage is led by Keyboardist/Composer Matt Giancola and features Trevor McDannel on Bass and Eric Layana on Acoustic and Electric Drums. Together they share years of combined experience cutting their teeth in various Funk outfits throughout the US.

It is with great pleasure that we are celebrating our 40th year, Dallas created something special back on July 7, 1977, and it is still thriving after all these years. The Patch has changed a great deal over the years, and we will be remembering the times we all had, and the people that made it all happen. There will of course be some great music, but we are also going to be setting up an area in the front for all the memories, there will be pictures, some videos, and hopefully some of the history and stories will be told.
The music starts at 7:00pm and goes till 11:00pm on the main stage, but of course there will be after jams. There will also be a pot luck dinner so please bring a dish to share. The potluck will start about 8 PM or so.
The doors will close at 2:00am.
Featured bands include:
Dylan Cowles: a Blueberry patch original artist. Dylan currently lives in Tampa and is a singer songwriter with plenty of original songs. He was also the front man for several other ventures including: Blue Gravy, Dylan Cowles and the Krowkness, and Kosmic Egg. Dylan also wrote a couple of versions of the Blueberry Patch song for Dallas, and we will all be singing the song at the end of his set. He also is a regular on the Florida Folk show and you can catch him at other venues around the bay area. We are happy to have him celebrate with us!
The Rosewoods will be finishing out the night!
Elliot Dickinson, John Macdonald, Kristina White, and Greg Baker have emerged from various influences and backgrounds to bring the music of The Rosewoods to life. Many aspiring musicians are touched by the spirit of rock ’n’ roll, but few create an original sound with as much heart as The Rosewoods. As first impressions from the Tampa Bay area have shown, this young group is sure to become a thriving act in the local music scene. In the winter of 2010 the group began writing and rehearsing its first batch of original songs and followed up the work with production of a home recording titled, Why Do You Do It. By late October of 2011 the band was performing locally and making up for lost time as well. After their first two shows alone, The Rosewoods, were offered in-studio air time at the local FM radio station 88.5 WMNF and managed to be booked through to January of the following year. The Rosewoods are continuously writing and arranging material that will shape the sound of music for the next generation. The band has influences in rock, soul, and blues and puts on a great show.
There will be limited vending for this event and will be set up on the Labyrinth side of the property, spaces are limited, and there will be a $25.00 vending fee. So if you are interested contact the BBP page for sign-up.

Our featured artist for the evening is singer/songwriter Daniel Stevens.
Dan began his musical career in the 60's with his first band, The Rats. He grew up in Massachusetts, where, due to issues with curfews, bedtimes and a lack of transportation, he put his career on hold until the early 70’s, after high school. After a year, he left Beloit College (Wisconsin) and traveled to Guam, where he joined Bamboo, a horn band which played island nightclubs and concerts.
Over the years, he's been one of the founding members of a number of rock n' roll/blues bands: Apathy, Cottonmouth, Windfall Prophet, Groove Moon and others. He's played across the New England states, in Texas and Colorado (Boulder,Telluride, and Colorado Springs), and, of course, all over Florida.
His cds have all been produced by Lis and Lon Williamson, of Gatorbone Records and Studio, who also work with bands like Flagship Romance, Chelsea Saddler, Grant Peeples and many others. Pete Winters, of Winterstone in Tallahassee, mastered all four cds.
Dan is almost retired from "the road," though he's still happy to play here and there. Just ask.
You can check out some of his music:

Troy Youngblood & the SoulFish
Genre: Blues, Funk, Soul, Roots
“If I was knocked out by TEB’s voice, I was totally unprepared for what happened next. Troy Youngblood and the SoulFish hit the stage, and Youngblood’s amazing voice filled the entire fest. There simply aren’t many male singers of his caliber in these here parts. Youngblood also played a mean guitar, fronting bass, drums, keyboard, and trumpet! “Just Another Day in My Life” had me thinking of my all-time favorite singer, Tim Buckley, among others. “Long Tall Ride” was an enjoyable romp, and during “Let Me Go” I was hearing Kim Wilson of the Fabulous Thunderbirds. Please do not misunderstand me: Youngblood is all his own man; I was just finding comparisons with my favorite music. The band had a ball performing “The Devil Smells Like Bourbon.” I’m hoping to see this band again soon, maybe this weekend!”

Not only is he a phemonimal musician, he also possesses an amazing ability to captivate his listeners by radiating genuine love and kindness from the stage. An evening with El Dub at the Blueberry Patch is not just a concert...it's an experience.
Lee "El Dub" Walsh: Lyric Extraordinaire, Musician, Composer, Multi-Instrumentalist, and Vocalist, with a love of music to no end and an even bigger passion to share it!
El Dub is what you call a "looper" or "One man Band". He plays all instruments live including, beat boxing, guitar, bass, keys and harmonizing vocals and loops them into layers that end up sounding like a full band with just one guy. El Dub uses the RC50 Loop Station as well as a Godin Synth Guitar, and Roland GR55 guitar synth pedal for sounds like horn sections, flutes, organ, piano, and wah clavi, which help him create the staple sounds of a true funk band. You may recognize this type of performance from other "looping artist" like Zach Deputy, and Keller Williams.
Genre: Funk. Reggae, Blues, Hip Hop
Brand New CD "Feelin' Alive" Available NOW at www.eldubmusic.com
Please like his facebook page:

Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen was born in 1934. An early writer and guitarist, Cohen began to compose and release folk-rock and pop songs by the mid-1960s. One of his most famous compositions is "Hallelujah," a song released on 1984's Various Positions. Cohen was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008, and he received a Grammy Award for lifetime achievement in 2010. Cohen died in 2016 at the age of 82.

Originally from Spartanburg, SC, Chris has been living in the Tampa Bay area for over a decade. He is a veteran of the United States Air Force where he served as KC-135 Crew Chief, a military aerial refueling aircraft. A civilian now, Chris makes his living as a graphic designer and can be seen around town twisting everyone into a frenzy as the lovable front man in Twisty Chris and the Puddin’ Packs and behind the drums as the energetic DinoSarge in the local punk band, Nerds Raging.

Chris has been attending Patch nights on a regular basis over the last year where he can be seen checking ID’s at the gate. He attends most volunteer Saturday’s and has been known to recruit his fellow band mates to assist with some of the heavy lifting on larger projects.
